Yesterday was my birthday (droopy drawers), and so we went to see the 'Dreamtime' exhibition. Half of the exhibition was in Les Abbatoirs Museum of Modern Art in Toulouse and the other half, which we saw yesterday, was in the prehistoric caves at Mas d'Azil. The works are a culmination of 3 year long residencies by various international contemporary artists and their individual responses to the caves.
It was a really weird way to experience the art, the caves themselves are pretty scary, eerily lit and sometimes quite claustrophobic. But it was really intriguing to connect with the works in this environment as opposed to a gallery setting, they were much more interactive in such an unnerving place, although very difficult to photograph!
